How do you identify Maria Theresa Silver Thaler that is NOT a restrike?

It would be extremely unlikely that you have an original coin. It is currently believed that there may be 2-3 original Guenzburg struck Maria Theresia Thalers (MTT) known. The price? Well there are no auction records for that variety, but for an original 1780 Prague strike, you could expect to fork out at least €27,000.00. In all there are very few original 1780 Maria Theresia Talers known; there are 2 Prague examples and only a handful of original Vienna mint coins known to exist.
Despite what some say it is relatively easy to identify very early 1780 MTT. Although The same design has been struck as a bullion piece for over 200 years, from 1780 to around 1805 there were several varieties produced ( all with the date 1780). One simple but not exclusive test is to look at the brooch on the bust...... If it is a plain oval brooch (without pearls you have a coin worth investigating further. If you want to get further information, hunt out a book called " The Lexicon of the Maria Theresien Taler" ( its is German and English) by Walter Hafner. Although over 20 years old now ( you can still get new copies in Vienna) that book will help a new collector quickly learn how to identify the different MTT Varieties.
Most modern Thalers sell for about $20 for their silver content.

∙ 13y agoThe rarity of originals and the abundance of restrikes strongly favors any coin found to be a restrike, however a careful visual inspection is always prudent. There were many varients so a simple answer is not sufficient. As a rule if it looks bright and well centered, it is almost certainly a modern strike. Check this page:

The Maria Theresa thaler is still being minted with the 1780 date. It is basically a bullion coin containing approximately 3/4 ounce of pure silver.
What is the value of a 1780 Maria Theresa Thaler?
The value of a 1780 Maria Theresa Thaler can vary depending on its condition and any unique characteristics it may have. Generally, these coins can range in value from about $20 to several hundred dollars, with rare or well-preserved pieces commanding higher prices. It's best to consult with a numismatic expert or use a coin appraisal service to determine the specific value of your coin.
What is the value of a 1780 St Theresa silver dollar?
I think that you are referring to a Maria Theresa thaler, a silver bullion coin (for use in international trade) originally produced for in Austria-Hungary in 1741 years ago and still produced today with a "frozen" date of 1780. The thaler is 39.5 mm in diameter and 2.5mm thick, weighs 28.0668 grams and is 83.3% fine; it thus contains 23.3890 grams - or 0.752 troy ounces - of silver. With silver at US$18.50 per troy ounce (as of mid January 2010), that would make the "melt value" about US$13.90. Numismatically, it's is difficult for the non-expert (and I place myself in that category) to differentiate between a thaler produced 200 years ago and one produced last Thursday. While the former would probably be worth more than the latter (or at least some of the former; the thaler has been produced in many different countries over the last 230 years), it would take a specialist to be able to identify and value those that are particularly dear.
What is the value of a 1780 maria theresa thaler coin?
Wish I had logged in for the other coin questions. You like eceryone else need to describe the coin much better. In your case it is at least somewhat understandable but if you got as far as knowing it was Maria Theresa why not tell us the origin. The coin was produced in several countries in several provincial mints. It could be worth as little as $5 and as much as $200,000. You need a pro and in reality maybe 2 if the first one says it is worth something

Most Maria Theresa Thalers are modern restrikes and generally trade for close to silver melt, about $20-21 at present. Don't let the date fool you, nearly all the coins were minted well after 1780 and indeed continue to this present day, still with the date of 1780.

What is the value of a 1780 Maria therese silver coin?
First, it is highly unlikely your coin was struck in 1780, the Maria Theresa thaler has been struck in large quantities from 1780 all the way to the present day. If you are really interested, there are ways to determine by the die if yours is an older strike or a newer one. But generally, these coins sell for silver scrap, or perhaps a bit more. You should easily be able to sell it for $20-25 depending on the price of silver.
